The authors asserted that a douche, vaginal scraping and medications administered quickly after a rape "invariably" prevents pregnancy.

I wonder what medications he was referring to, and whether some people would have a problem with their use. Of course this was in 1971.

Maybe it's a sign of the financial status of the Sacramento Bee that they're asking website readers to "Live chat with intuitive and gifted psychics".

American indians used to use a concoction made from mayapple root to cause abortion and to deal with skin cancers and genital warts. It works but is not without risk to the user. Too much, the user dies along with the fetus; too little and the user get a child but with birth defects; and it can cause halucinations, stupor, etc. Early settlers used it as well, and it is still collected today for the pharmaceutical industry for skin cancer treatments.

I would think some would have an issue with the "medications" he suggests (possibly they are herbs or essential oils or stronger; we are distributors of Young Living's oils, and they have cautions on a few of them that they are not to be taken by a pregnant woman as they can induce labor), and the only "vaginal scraping" I know of is a D&C, which IS an abortion, or the removal of contents from a miscarriage.
